Transradial access is the key bleeding avoidance strategy in percutaneous coronary intervention. This study showed a marked adoption of transradial access over a 10-year period, however, women had a significantly lower rate compared to men and overall bleeding events did not decrease over time. Strategies to overcome barriers to radial access in women and to maintaining competency in femoral access in all patients are needed.
